Girls Not Amused By Prank On Date

September 12, 1991|The Morning Call

Two Catasauqua High School girls who thought they and their dates were being robbed and sexually threatened at gunpoint over the weekend didn't think it was too funny when their attackers said the whole thing was a joke.

The masked gunmen turned out to be teen-age friends of the girls' dates. They were wielding cap or BB guns in the Whitehall Township incident.

One of the girls and her parents are asking police to make an arrest in the case. The girl told township police the incident occurred while she and a friend were on a date with two Whitehall High School boys Saturday night about 10.

The boys drove to the Lehigh County Tennis Courts on Lehnet Road and pulled into the woods. Two masked men in black came at them with guns, she said.

According to police reports, the pranksters pointed the guns at the girls' heads, pushed and shoved them and their dates, and ordered the girls to give up their purses.

They then orded the four victims to lay on their stomachs. They then marched the group into the woods, where they ordered the girls to perform oral sex on them, sex with their dates in front of them, then told them to take off their shirts. The girls refused everything, even at gunpoint.

The group was herded back to the car, where the attackers returned the purses and took off their masks, laughing about the prank. They said they knew the girls' dates and it was a little joke.
